Southwest Chemical Dependency Program

About Southwest Chemical Dependency Program

Southwest Chemical Dependency Program is a nonprofit treatment provider based in Livingston, Montana, in Park County, operating a residential recovery home alongside outpatient and prevention services across four south-central Montana counties.

A State-Approved Treatment Provider

Southwest Chemical Dependency Program is a Montana state-approved nonprofit corporation offering chemical dependency treatment, prevention and education, built on a philosophy of total abstinence and the recovery principles of Alcoholics Anonymous and Narcotics Anonymous. Its residential Recovery Homes program is one piece of a continuum that also includes outpatient and intensive outpatient treatment, group therapy, one-on-one counseling and peer support.

Serving Four Montana Counties

The organization serves Park, Madison, Meagher and Beaverhead counties, with offices in Livingston, Dillon, Ennis and White Sulphur Springs. Its residential recovery home is based at the Livingston office, giving residents in the surrounding counties a single organization to work with across residential care, outpatient treatment and case management.

Registered Housing, Not a Certified Recovery Residence

The organization's residential home is registered with Montana's Department of Public Health and Human Services under the state's mandatory registration law, without certification through Recovery Access Montana or the National Sober Living Association. Certification is voluntary, and a program built primarily around licensed treatment, as this one is, may not have pursued it.

A Long-Standing Presence in Park County

Southwest Chemical Dependency Program is based in Livingston, the seat of Park County in the Paradise Valley of south-central Montana, a region with few other residential treatment options. Its combination of residential care, outpatient treatment and Montana's court-ordered Prime for Life program makes it one of the more established treatment providers serving the area.
